Takeaways From Indiana Junior All-Star Game Versus Kentucky

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Indiana had boots on the ground coverage Sunday evening fro Scottsburg High School's historic Charles E. Meyer Gymnasium. Aptly nicknamed "The Pressure Cooker" it was plenty warm in the gym as the Indiana Junior All-Stars dominated their competition from the Bluegrass state. Let's dive into some takeaways from Sunday's matchup. The Indiana Junior All-Stars will be back in action on Wednesday at Kokomo High School as they take on the Senior team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even playing without Core team member [player_tooltip player_id='1296979' first='Azavier' last='Robinson'] (Lawrence North H.S. 2025) who is in Las Vegas for the Pangos All-American Camp, the Indiana Junior All-Stars dominated the Kentucky Junior All-Stars 130-103. Despite hanging around for the first 10 or so minutes, Kentucky simply couldn't match the level of size and athleticism that Indiana featured across the board. All 11 players scored at least five points while six finished in double-figures. This Class of 2025 is incredibly talented and deep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those who have followed [player_tooltip player_id='1297068' first='Julius' last='Gizzi'] (New Palestine H.S. 2025) wouldn't have been surprised by what the 6'3" guard did on Sunday evening. He may not be the most decorated prospect on the team, but Gizzi continues to prove himself every time he steps onto the floor as one of the best pure scorers in the state of Indiana. Whether it is the nearly 30 points per game he averaged as a junior for the Dragons, the multiple big games he put up through the spring with Legacy Ice Elite - Gizzi, or his game-high 27 points for the Indiana Junior All-Stars there is no denying his ability to put the ball in the basket. He only missed one field goal and on free throw in the game finishing with incredibly 10-11, 4-5, 3-4 shooting splits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1297118' first='Trent' last='Sisley'] (Heritage Hills H.S. 2025) did much of his work in the second half scoring 15 of his 20 points as Indiana pulled away from Kentucky. The versatile 6'8" forward showcased why he is a national four-star prospect playing above the rim while also knocking in two of five three-point attempts. Sisley added 6 rebounds and 3 assists on the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Sisley helped carry the load in the second half, [player_tooltip player_id='1296984' first='Braylon' last='Mullins'] (Greenfield-Central H.S. 2025) got the Indiana Junior All-Stars off to a hot start. The national four-star prospect knocked in a pair of deep, though stepback three-point shots to set the tone and scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half. Mullins has been one of the biggest stock-risers nationally this spring garnering offers from the likes of Kansas, North Carolina, and UConn among many others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fresh off of an outstanding performance on Saturday morning at the IU-Indianapolis Elite Camp, [player_tooltip player_id='1388408' first='Tre' last='Singleton'] (Jeffersonville H.S. 2025) carried things over to Sunday's Indiana Junior All-Star game. The 6'8" forward contributed a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds showcasing his ever-expanding offensive skill set. Already a sound ball handler and passer for his size, Singleton is becoming much more consistent as a face-up threat. Becoming a legitimate catch-and-shoot option from beyond the arc could really allow his game, and therefore his recruitment, to take a leap going into the summer months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two high-major football prospects rounded out the Indiana Juniors in double-figures. [player_tooltip player_id='1525664' first='JonAnthony' last='Hall'] (Fishers H.S. 2025) finished second in the long jump and was on the third place 4x100 relay team as Fishers collected the state track championship on Saturday. The 6'1" guard also was the second-leading scorer on the 29-1 Tigers team that won the Class 4A state championship in basketball. However, his future likely will take him to the gridiron in college. He finished with a typical do-it-all stat line of 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and a couple of incredibly chase down blocks. Similarly, Notre Dame football recruit [player_tooltip player_id='1373105' first='Mark' last='Zackery'] IV (Ben Davis H.S 2025) is a special talent on the hardwood as well. He chipped in 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Indiana Junior All-Stars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1296998' first='Cedric' last='Horton'] (Richmond H.S. 2025) and [player_tooltip player_id='1297019' first='Dezmon' last='Briscoe'] (Crispus Attucks H.S. 2025) each added 9 points while Briscoe also collected 10 rebounds. [player_tooltip player_id='1297093' first='Michael' last='Cooper'] (Jeffersonville H.S. 2025) had 8 points, [player_tooltip player_id='1525663' first='Brady' last='Koehler'] (Cathedral H.S. 2025) chipped in 7 points and 5 blocked shots, and [player_tooltip player_id='1297113' first='Shane' last='Sims'] (Evansville Harrison H.S. 2025) rounded out the scoring with 5 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
